Doing all of this revealed that the flange where the drop off meets the trunk pan is crap so gonna have to maybe use some angl eiron and make it better, not looking to remove a trunk pan. It also showed that the outer wheel house in back had some issues a piece of flat square metal just bent over no weld and some undercoat thrown over it, rust etc. looks almost factory though? I also saw that of course they did not weld that big flat steel tail pan patch they did into the 1/4 patch they stair stepped the crap out of. Also that highest square in the 1/4 well once I cut the tacks off the main big patch, that one fell out, like nothing was holding it but bondo. The patch panels you can buy do not go that high in back so I'd have to patch the top and then put in a patch panel, and try to get to the drop off before doing so, and not really be doing anything with the outer wheel house. So honestly I think it needs 1/4 skins. You can se where their patches were the wheel well lip itself is gone on the well and they made a patch to come over on the 1/4's but nothing on the wells. This side is the better side the pass. there's nothing to do but replace it because the entire wheel well is shot. I also started working on the torque box on the pass. side and guess what, no spot welds holding the torque box to the floor on the inside, only the outside and some thru the frame section into the torque box. I thought that was kind of weird.
